Instructions for Glog Poster (what students need to include):

Include Title: 1920's and Great Depression Project

3 "General Culture" elements - Describe with Image or Video and Text 3 different topics relating to General Culture. This can just be a simple '1 paragraph' explanation of each and the significance to the time period. Why did you feel it was important or interesting? Include citations.

Choose ONE item from the "Topics / Events" column. Provide details and in-depth study using Photo's / Slideshow. This is where students should spend the most time. A 'slideshow' using photos from the era should be created and embedded into the Glog. You must use Powerpoint for this portion. We will then convert the powerpoint to a Youtube video to import into Glogster. Text is required. Sound is a bonus. Each slideshow should be detailed and in depth and written in students own words- include relevance - why did u choose this? What was the significance to the time period? - connections with other parts of your glog. Citations are requred.

Include photo and information (one paragraph - 4 sentences) about one person from "People" column (you may also choose person important in era that is not listed). Why did you choose this person - relevance to time period. Citations.

Define 5 vocabulary words relating to topics - may include vocabulary not listed here. Use words that connect to other parts of your glog

Include sources for each area - site websites / books / other resources within each text box. Consider one 'text box' that is just used as your reference / citation listing with the different URLs that you used to get information. Or include citations within each section.

Consider using a 'Voice' to tell your story

Include 2 - 3 interesting facts that your found in your research.

Include a 'reflection' about your Glog - just a few sentences about your experience doing this

Do you know anyone - relative, neighbor, family friend - who lived through the Great Depression. Would they have any stories or interesting facts to share? You could get their comments into your Glog. Saawweeet!!

A wordle might be a fun creative thing to include in this project.
